THE UGLY GIRL.
Some Advantages which b Has Over
Her Pretty Sister.
Hnrnpr's Rnsir

Her Pretty Sister.
Hdrper's Baslr.
1t is a strange fact that the ugly girl is
ather q f~avorite than otherwise, although
a thing Of beauto is Z Joy forever.
When we look at her we lament the
shape OF Der nose, We sigh over the cast in
her eve, we deplore the dullnesss Of her
complexion, we can find nothing to
praise; bus perhaps she smiles, or she
has a witching manner. She knows the
spell whsch puts every cIe at his ease;
she owns the charm which makes Others
pleased with themselves; and then We are
won, to say that there is no such person
as the ugly girl. But to those who do not
know her, who do net come unde the
magnetism Of her presence, she remains
the ugly girl to the end Of the chapter; and
when she marries carries of the best match
of the season, perhsps-prettier women
are at their wits end TO know what attrac-
lions she possesses superior 10 their own.
What is j: that redeems the ugly face
and makes il shine with comeliness, 80
IlAJ We SOIuStlElcS NOuIu ~ CASuabkS ~,
with all its mishappen features, for the
beauty of Aphrodite? The plain face
which is alive with intelligence, which
beams with m expression Of refinement
and good nature, which culture and high
mindedness animate, becomes sometimes
finer and more effective than mere pretti-
mss, mere pink and white loyeliness, mere
shapeliness and symmetry of feature; a
pretty face has been known TO pail upon
one, bat who has sounded the depth Of at
traction which resides in q mobile counte-
nance where the features may be found to
swear at each other, 80 to speak.
But the ugly girl must choose her colors
and fashions wisely. She must not be nj
ira and conspicuous; she must know how
to bring cut whatever charms exist in her
face and figure il she would overcome the
defects; if her nose is large, the hair on the
top Of her head will be most becoming; II
her face is heavy, n turhan hat that covers
the forehead will add 10 its Disagreement;
if her ears are large and i'll. sbapen, she
should not yea earrings. She should Brst
Of all recognize her defects.
The ugly girl has some advantages over
her pretty sister; she doss not fade so carly,
or at least her fading is not 50 palpable,
and she is usually a better-looking matron
than a girl.

The Little Seed,

A little seed lay in the ~carter's path;
A little shoot bowed in the strong winds
wrath;
A little shrub grew, by its roots held fast
Then a stout tree hrayed all the win
ter's blast.
A little cough stSrted-'twas only light;
4 little chill shivered the hours of night;
A little pain came and began to grow,
Then consumption laid all his brave
strength low.
Be wise in time. Check the little
cough, cure the little chill, dispell the lit
tie pain, ere the little ailment becomes the
strong, unconquerGble giant Of disease.
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
taken in time is a remedy for these ills.
